Best hosts ever! We look forward to returning :)
We had a simply perfect 2 night stay. The lovely hosts just went above and beyond and were so accommodating and welcoming! The hotel is very clean, comfortable and safe. Plus in a perfect location. Breakfast was brilliant - especially as vegetarians; we've never been so spoilt for choice at a Bed & Breakfast!! We can't wait to go back :) (Best wishes for your first summer!! Laura & Peter x)

The accomodation was lovely and comfortable and the hosts helpful and friendly. The parking is a bit away so would not suit everyone but is fine as you get a permit. Lovely breakfast which accomodated intolerances.

Room was as bright as daylight all night with totally inadequate white cotton curtain covering a window with a streetlight shining in and another window onto the internal hall with a light on all night. Mattress very soft and only suitable for one person as the lightest person has to cling onto the edge or roll into the bowl made by the heaviest! Shower was a dribble. Breakfast was good and staff were friendly.

A lovely stay in a beautiful little village
Great little hotel, the room was great and the bed comfortable. Only a steady 3 minute walk from the stunning beach and immediate costal area. Friendly and helpful management, with an amazing breakfast provided in the cost. If we’re in the area again, I’ll not hesitate to rebook here.

Extremely comfortable b&b, close to the beach.
Stayed here several times, always a pleasure. Very well-appointed rooms, comfortable beds, clean, stylish with good views onto the Main Street through Beer. Close to the beach and nearby restaurants, pubs and cafes.
